Price and Nealy are accused of conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud and tax evasion. Campbell is accused of participating in the conspiracy. Price and Fain are accused of running a business that provided Price with another $133,000 that was never reported on income taxes.

Price, Nealy, Fain and Campbell all pleaded not guilty.

State law allows Price to continue to hold his seat on the commissioner's court, which he has held for 27 years, unless he is convicted. The legal case could take years.
